Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Steve Martin is perhaps better known for his work as a comedian and actor, but he's also written a selection of plays. His most recognized theatrical work, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, doesn't disappoint on the witty-intelligence front. His fantasy about Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meeting in a Parisian dive in 1904 brings together titans of science and art when they were pre-titanic, emphasizing the humor and imagination that fosters genius. The Theatre Guild of Webster Groves presents Picasso at the Lapin Agile at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (January 5 to 14) at the The Theatre Guild of Webster Groves (517 Theatre Lane; www.theatreguildwg.org). Tickets are $12 to $15.
